Do you do workshops? I am in your neck of the woods. Your videos are very helpful . Thank you for sharing all of these tips and info. It is definitely appreciated..
Would you recommend UV inhibitor over and above UV absorber? There is very little information out there comparing their effectiveness in preventing both fading and fo degeneration.
I enjoyed your story about the neighbors! One time I answered the door wearing a respirator because I was making a lye solution. My poor neighbor didn't want to think badly of me but it looked pretty suspicious! I do have a question about vanillin from fragrance oils. I know it discolors but did you say that UV inhibitor prevents vanillin doscoloration?
😁🤣😅 Yeah, I bet they had all sorts of questions. But... no, unfortunately UV Inhibitor only really helps with fading from UV. Doesn't help with vanillin. At least in my experience. :/
I am so novice that I have not even made my first candle 😂 and I would like you to make a video for beginners but using small amounts because you are not a candle maker you are a teacher you explain so well detailed that everyone learns thank you very much thank you. Question where you bought this product and thank you and bless 💞💞💞
For your first candles I’d suggest a candle making kit. You get everything you need in the kit (correct size wicks, vessels, wax, fragrance oils, thermometer, stickums, labels etc) They’re also quite inexpensive for what you get. Once you’ve done those it gives you an idea as to what’s needed so you can expand from there. Good luck and have fun! 💕
I want to use tins for my candles. ( then Later down the road use glass jars) should I just start using uv to keep it consistent? And does color really fade in tins? I havent started yet I'm trying to get as much info as I can before i do. P.s thank you for making these amazing helpful videos
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. To answer your question, no you don't need to use uv in your tins especially if they are always lidded. But, if you plan to transition to glass later it wouldn't hurt to use it from the get go so your testing is easier later. You will need to retest anyway anytime you change jar type or size, fragrance, etc. But... at least you won't have to worry about how adding UV might affect it if you've always used it. But again, its completely optional. Most people who don't dye their candles or who only use tins or colored jars don't use uv. But as I mentioned in my video....I do for everything to be consistent with testing. :)
Nope. That's just a characteristic of soy. You would need to add another wax to combat that. (Paraffin helps the most. Sometimes beeswax or coconut too)
You can, but if add it to the wax first because you want the UV going in as hot as you can so it makes sense to add it to the wax first. Vybar can help with a few things (like all products there are pros and cons). Too much to explain here in this comment. But I have a recent video explaining vybar. :) I'll link it below: ruclips.net/video/lq_HzUkeUmc/видео.html
Technically, yes. But you risk a little loss of FO and other variations in process. I wouldn't feel comfortable selling them after being "reused" so to speak. But I do it for testing frequently. :)
I don't know the exact makeup, but I do know it's frequent used in soy candles and other common products (cosmetics, etc). But, sorry... I do not know the actual material/ingredient.
I know I asked on a recent video of yours about uv inhibitor but I just had to to re-watch this video for reference. Ok, so I DO know that making products with fragrance oils that have vanillin in them will absolutely turn them yellow over time. My question is, will using vanillin FO’s with color/dye and NOT using uv inhibitor, change the color of the wax? (i.e. creating a product with a FO that has vanillin and using a blue color/dye. Will it eventually turn green? My thought process is this ~ since vanillin FO’s turn products yellow, mixed with blue color/dye, over time it’s bound to turn green) Do you have any experience with this happening? Is there anything to eliminate/negate the vanillin FO’s from turning a product yellow? It for real took me forever to try and word this comment ‘just right’. Still not sure I actually did? I hope you understand what I’m trying to ask 🙃
Hey Angel. Yes, the discoloration from vaniilin will affect the colors too. Sort of like acceleration in soap making. It can make your blues and red and whatever a little funky eventually. Lol. But as a reminder for others....UV inhibitor will not help with discoloration from vanillin, only from UV light.
I use ounces for my candles as I don’t understand how to use grams. I was told .025% per 16oz (16oz=465g=1lb) and I was told .025x465 however that = 11.62 oz per 16oz which seems like way to much can you please explain the math or show the math so I can understand better ❤
neighbors are funny, i have been burning incense for years , especially in the summer with window open for no other reason than i like it. One of my neighbors was over one day and told me her and husband thought we were major pot heads because id burn it a lot lol. (I don't smoke it, and neither did anyone else in the house) That's how rumors start

Yes.... but had to put on hold while we moved and are setting back up the work area. So hopefully soon again! Where are ya located roughly?
@@BlackTieBarn North Kansas City
Oh sweet. Okay. We'll figure something out then hopefully!
I had heard of it but no idea on how to use it! Thank you for the information!
Welcome! :)
Just poured my first test candles today with UV inhibitor 🤞🏻🖤
👍
Really good information video. Very clear on the use of uv inhibitors. Thank you, Wade.
Np! Thanks Michael!
Thank you! I’m a new candle beginner so I need all the help and info I can get!

Ty for jumping in!
Sure I can plan that!
Thanks for this video. But, can you named what is UV inhibitor? What is compound of it?
Not exactly sure. It's a substance made to slow down colors from fading due to uv light exposure
Thank you you are the 👌
❤️
Thanks
👍
Question, I can't find a jar that has a bubble style lid with a seal
He was wonderful
I want to use tins for my candles. ( then Later down the road use glass jars) should I just start using uv to keep it consistent? And does color really fade in tins? I havent started yet I'm trying to get as much info as I can before i do.

@@BlackTieBarn thank you so much!!!
@@MamaDemons You are welcome. ;)
can you use the uv inhibitor be used with dye chips? Im asking because im currently in the process of gathering all the materials that I will need.
Yep!
@@BlackTieBarn ok thank you so much 😊
Does this help prevent frosting in soy candles?
Nope. That's just a characteristic of soy. You would need to add another wax to combat that. (Paraffin helps the most. Sometimes beeswax or coconut too)
Hello, can I please know the scientific name of UV inhibitor because no one is selling it in my country
Could you mix the UV inhibiter/stabilizer into your fragrance oil to make sure its well incorporated? What is the benefit of vybar?
You can, but if add it to the wax first because you want the UV going in as hot as you can so it makes sense to add it to the wax first.
Vybar can help with a few things (like all products there are pros and cons). Too much to explain here in this comment. But I have a recent video explaining vybar. :) I'll link it below:

@@BlackTieBarn Thank you so much!
Can you talk about STEARIC ACID ?? plz and thank you wade.
Check out my video on vybar. Vybar is an alternative to stearic acid but used for same purposes. I don't currently use stearic acid myself
Can wax be reused? I poured some candles and never burnt them. Can I melt them and use the wax again in a candle? Thank you.
Technically, yes. But you risk a little loss of FO and other variations in process. I wouldn't feel comfortable selling them after being "reused" so to speak. But I do it for testing frequently. :)
Thank you. I am just making it for myself. I hate to waste to much.
Is UV inhibitor and stabilizer the same?
If it says "UV Stabilizer" then yes. As long as it days UV as there are many stabilizer additives for candle making. :) good question!
hello Black Tie Barn Candle Co. How are you? can you use it in make soy melts and tarts too?
Absolutely. I use it in all waxes. And I am well. Thank you for asking. :)
@@BlackTieBarn can you tell me what it made of
I don't know the exact makeup, but I do know it's frequent used in soy candles and other common products (cosmetics, etc). But, sorry... I do not know the actual material/ingredient.

Is there anything to stop discoloration from vanillin?
@@MushroomAngel not that i know of or have used. vanillin and some others do it in everything (candles, soaps, lotions, etc)
Thanks Wade!
Is stearic acid a uv inhibitor?
Does adding UVI effect scent please?
Nope. Just use proper amount
Hello you could mixer with vybal thank you
👍
I use ounces for my candles as I don’t understand how to use grams. I was told .025% per 16oz (16oz=465g=1lb) and I was told .025x465 however that = 11.62 oz per 16oz which seems like way to much can you please explain the math or show the math so I can understand better ❤
can i mix uv inhibitor with vybar?
Yep!
neighbors are funny, i have been burning incense for years , especially in the summer with window open for no other reason than i like it. One of my neighbors was over one day and told me her and husband thought we were major pot heads because id burn it a lot lol. (I don't smoke it, and neither did anyone else in the house) That's how rumors start
Lol. Yep! 😆
Hello there. Have you used all types of wax?
I've sampled tons. But currently use 3 or 4 types. I plan to start sampling and using many more to help on this channel though. :)
did you just mention crack in your video? Lmao oh no. Oh no no no 😆
😆 i didn't mention it. Just implied it. Lol. Everyone asks me what it is all the time with confused looks on their face.
The thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤭
😆 yah I had a little fun with it. Lol
@@BlackTieBarn that's why we're in this world 😇

Omg it does look bad lol
